“Yes, Your Highness.” The eyes of the two maids inside lit up when they saw Young Master Ye. They hurriedly wanted to help him undress.
Ye Jingtang was agitated. Afraid that he would do something ridiculous like teasing the maidservants, he raised his hand and declined politely. “No need. I’ll wash it myself. Your Highness, make a copy of the formula for Snow Lake Powder and send it back to the capital immediately. This item is very important. Don’t lose it.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Liren didn’t say anything else. After Ye Jingtang entered, she went to the room next door to copy the formula.
After Ye Jingtang closed the door, he heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly tore off his robe and placed his saber, medicine clip, and other items on the table. He looked down and saw a pillar of white jade holding up the sky horizontally like a purple tendon bridging the sea…
F*ck.. Ye Jingtang rubbed his forehead. After looking around, he walked behind the screen.
The room was just an ordinary inn room, and there weren’t many furnishings to speak of. But in order to let the Prince of Jing have a good rest, a large bathtub with flower petals scattered in it had been provided.
Ye Jingtang stood in front of the bathtub and directly got into it. He buried his face in the water, trying to calm down.
But the maidservant had been too considerate and prepared warm water. Not only did his mind not clear up after he soaked in it, but he felt that he was immersed in something wet and warm, and his imagination started running wild…
Splash!
Ye Jingtang emerged from the water. After some thought, he simply sat cross-legged in the bathtub and forcefully entered a meditative state to adjust the chaotic qi in his body again…
In the wilderness on the other side of the river…
Daoist Xuanji, wearing a snow-white dress, was sitting alone on a treetop, holding her red wine gourd in her hand and shaking it gently. Her clear peach blossom eyes landed on the window paper of the inn in the distance.
The dim yellow candlelight in the room cast a man’s silhouette on the window paper. Although she couldn’t see the actual person, his broad shoulders, perfect waist, and abdomen…
Daoist Xuanji found this scene pleasing to the eye, but as a nun, she shouldn’t look around. So she looked elsewhere, feeling a little puzzled.
Daoist Xuanji was one of the top three figures among the Eight Chiefs, and her eyesight was far superior to that of others. Although Ye Jingtang’s aura was very chaotic, she could still tell that this kid seemed to have suddenly opened up all the meridians in his body and formed a ‘small heavenly circulation’ in his body, stepping into the threshold for becoming a Martial Chief.
Although Ye Jingtang was still inexperienced compared to the Eight Martial Chiefs in the world, and there was a difference in martial arts attainments, combat experience, and Jianghu experience, his comprehension ability was too exaggerated. It probably wouldn’t take long for him to complete the feat of replacing the old and becoming a new Martial Chief.
This speed of growth wasn’t achievable with talent and hard work alone. Based on Daoist Xuanji’s understanding of martial artists, this kid must have encountered a once-in-a-lifetime ‘opportunity’, which allowed him to take another step forward in just a day or two.
While Daoist Xuanji was pondering the mystery silently, her peripheral vision moved slightly, and she looked at the forest not far away.
The moon was high in the sky, and the forest was pitch-black. There didn’t seem to be any living creatures.
But Daoist Xuanji faintly felt a familiar aura, as if an acquaintance was hiding in the woods and sneaking over.
?
Daoist Xuanji’s eyes lit up. She didn’t expect that the woman she couldn’t catch after so much effort in the past would actually send herself to her door after she gave up on tracking her.
Daoist Xuanji immediately restrained all her aura and squatted on the treetop like a dead thing, looking for an opportunity to capture the Northern Liang Thief Sage.
But just like before, the Thief Sage had just approached a certain distance when she sensed that something was wrong. She turned her monocular around and looked at her.
Their eyes met.

When the Thief Sage saw the demoness of Great Wei, who had beaten her up again and again, her shoulders trembled in shock. She immediately turned around and ran away.
After chasing her for more than half a year, Daoist Xuanji couldn’t be bothered to play cat and mouse with the Thief Sage anymore. She directly asked, “What are you doing here?”
The Thief Sage came here naturally because she had seen Ye Jingtang’s strength skyrocket. There was a high chance that he had taken the Heavenly Carnelian Bead. She was puzzled and curious.
The Heavenly Carnelian Bead was a divine medicine of the tribes of the Western Sea. As far as she knew, no one else in the world could use this thing.
If Ye Jingtang could use it, it was because either there was a problem with the medicine that the Prince of Wu concocted or his background was related to the tribes of the Western Sea.
This matter was extremely important. Before communicating with the elders of the tribes, she definitely couldn’t tell the people of Great Wei.
Because of this, when the Thief Sage heard the question, she only turned around and said, “Why do you care?”
Then she turned around and crossed the mountain ridge, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing that the other party didn’t give her face, Daoist Xuanji wasn’t very happy and immediately chased after her…
